Havana -. Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez reiterated today that the UN Security Council has shown its inability to stop the massacre of the Palestinian people by not approving the resolutions proposed at its emergency session.
The Foreign Minister pointed out in his report on the social network X that the lack of freedom of decision of the international organization confirms its complete paralysis in the face of the crisis in Palestine.
Rodríguez explained in the platform that the Security Council rejected the proposal on Palestine presented by the United States, which deliberately omitted the call for a ceasefire and the need to stop the massacre, protect civilians and stop forced displacement.
The Security Council of @AThis proves once again that it is unable to stop the massacre of the Palestinian people.
Today’s emergency meeting ended without adopting either of the two proposed resolutions.

“The United States’ irresponsibility in handling this crisis and the shameless way in which it supports Israel’s unacceptable actions have ruined its initiative in the Security Council,” he said.

He added that with the dissenting vote from Washington and other countries, Russia’s Palestine proposal, which calls for an immediate ceasefire, condemns attacks on civilians and calls for reversing Israel’s intention to force the displacement of the Gaza Strip population, was also not adopted make Strip and the dispatch of humanitarian aid is urgently needed.
Israeli aggression following the armed invasion of the Hamas organization into areas controlled by that country has caused the deaths of 6,546 Palestinians, mostly civilians, including 2,704 children, and more than four thousand injured since October 7 last year.
